AboveAir VCU-T Series · Discontinued
VCU-T-030-1-X Replacement
AboveAir Technologies is still trading but has left the through-the-wall market entirely. Their current catalogue is mission-critical precision cooling, with no VCU product in it. The line is discontinued; the company is not.
We supply the replacement. Below is what this unit was, what goes in its place, and how to be sure it fits before anyone orders anything.

Why we are not giving you a dimension here
We could not find a spec sheet for the VCU-T Series that we trust, so we are not going to print a number we have not verified. A guessed sleeve dimension is how a building ends up with equipment that will not go in the wall. Measure the opening, or send us a photo with a tape in it, and we will confirm the fit ourselves.
Ordering more than one?
If this model is on a full line of apartments, send the count and we will quote the line together with staged delivery so the units arrive as your contractor is ready for them, rather than all at once.
Confirm it fits
Measure the wall opening itself, not the old cabinet, and check it here. If you want the full picture first, the sleeve size guide covers every standard NYC opening and how to measure one properly.
What fits my opening?
Measure the wall opening, not the old unit. Cabinets are built undersized so they can slide in, so measuring the equipment gives you a number that is too small. Measure in two places, because these are rarely square after decades.
